Friend bought a spoiler (rear wing) from JY and brought it home to (rattle cans ordered online) repaint it to match his car. Today, two weeks later, he brought it over for me to buff out. I pointed out to him that there were streaks of primer showing through already.
I started wet sanding with 1500 and noticed a tinge of color (sanded through the CC) cause the clear was sooooo thin. Then I hit it with some Megs UC and it turned out OK. He decided he didnt like to see the streaks and wanted to re-spray it, so I got out my alcohol mix to get the UC oils off the spoiler and that's where things went BAD! I mean BADDDDDDDDDDD!!!
It basically ate the paint and made it all gummy! Now it can barely be sanded anymore cause the paint is so soggy. We rinsed it off and tried again but no luck. The paint there is just GEL now.
Anyone ever heard of the alcohol gelling the paint like this? It was only the spot I wet sanded and rubbed, the rest of the spoiler didnt gum up like that spot did.
WHAT GIVES???? Just to be sure I sprayed the alcohol on my Bonneville in front of him and just as we both thought it didnt cause an issue with my car.
